Beyoncé and Jay Z Rented Out a Zoo for Blue Ivy’s Second Birthday

We already know how Beyoncé spent the late-evening hours of her daughter’s second birthday, this past Tuesday: by staging an impromptu Destiny’s Child reunion at a Miami karaoke bar, where she surprised the pants off of the patrons there who were singing her music. But how did she spend the day marking Blue Ivy’s second year of life?

According to a new report from TMZ, Beyoncé and husband Jay Z rented out Jungle Island, an interactive zoo and park located between Miami and Miami Beach. The duo reportedly secured the entire park, most likely as a privacy measure and not because Blue Ivy had specifically requested a private audience with the kangaroos, penguins, lemurs, and other wildlife. (Saving costs, the site notes that children under the age of 10 are eligible for free admission on their birthday.) In case you are curious about some of the sights Bey, Jay, and Blue Ivy took in on the big birthday, Jungle Island’s official Web site lists lions, tigers, leopards, a flamingo lake, a playground, and a Pepsi-sponsored parrot bowl as attractions. Hat tip to Beyoncé, Pepsi spokeswoman, for exercising brand awareness on her daughter’s big day.
